With the growing population on Earth clustered increasingly along coastlines, tsunami hazards are of concern worldwide. Within the framework of the bilateral agreement between the Geological Societies of London and Japan, a linked pair of one-day symposia is bringing together geoscientists and risk assessors to assess tsunami hazard in an integrated manner, with a view to facilitating more quantitative and evidence-based evaluation of their scale, nature, location and timescales.
The first symposium was hosted by the Geological Society of Japan and took place in Kagoshima in September 2014, with the main focus being on the geological evidence of tsunamis around the Pacific Rim. This second symposium, in London in September 2015, will focus on the Atlantic margin and Europe, and on tsunami modelling, hazard and risk assessment.
